While Prof. Tomoe was a bit annoying in the anime, I got used to him. The Tomoe presenting in the book is rather boring. I think Hotaru is a bit more fleshed out here, with her background story and such, but maybe that's because I don't remember if it was talked about in the TV show.

Bonuses are plenty of color pages and a sticker sheet.

31. 無限５ SAILORPLUTO 冥王せつな (Eternity 5, Sailor Pluto Setsuna Meiou): The next enemy from the Witches 5 is Ruru Teruno with her popular plants that emit an fragrant but deadly scent. Jupiter/Makoto is the featured scout as she's interested in botany. Hotaru is acting even more strange and grabs at Chibiusa's broach. Chibiusa tells her that is the Crystal, something that she sudden feels the need for. During the fight with Ruru, the outer scouts do the finishing blow and Pluto/Setsuna reveals herself to the inner scouts.

32. 無限６ ３戦士 (Eternity 6, 3 Scouts): The outer scouts tell the fabulous 5 that they're too weak and shouldn't involve themselves in the battle that's going on. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are stronger and have special items, the Talisman, to fight against the Goddess of Destruction. Later, the scouts do some research into Souichiro Tomoe, Hotaru's father. Chibiusa gets invited to go to a movie with Hotaru, but Hotaru is a no-show. Chibiusa goes to her house and accidentally sees her grafts. As she's running out, it starts hailing. The hail makes people want to kill each other. The scouts, with the exception of Moon and Chibimoon, become affected. Moon, joined with Chibimoon and Tuxedo Mask, release the Princess Serenity's holy cup.

33. 無限７ 変身 SUPER SAILORMOON (Eternity 7, Transform Super Sailormoon): With that power, she becomes Super Sailormoon and defeat the last of the Witches 5, the twins. The outer scouts explain to Sailormoon about how they released Sailor Saturn, the goddess of destruction, the first time Crystal Tokyo was destroy. They conclude that Sailor Saturn is Hotaru and in order for her to not be revived -- which would mean the destruction of Earth -- they would need to kill her. Chibiusa tries to go on ahead to warn Hotaru, but she's already become Mistress 9 and takes Chibiusa's broach.

34. 無限８ 「無限迷宮」１ (Eternity 8, "Eternal Labyrinth" 1): Chibiusa loses consciousness and falls deathly ill. The scouts try to find Hotaru/Mistress 9 to save Chibiusa. They arrive at the school to find that it's changed. They enter and each of the scouts has to deal with their respective Witches that they previously defeated. Meanwhile, MIstress 9 is basking in her new stolen power, but Hotaru is still within her.

35. 無限９ 「無限迷宮」２ (Eternity 9, "Eternal Labyrinth" 2): In her dreams, Chibiusa is protected by Hotaru (as Mamoru notices). Moon, with the outer scouts, travel to the depths of the building. They find Tomoe there, but he's transformed into a monster. They dispose of him, but have to face Mistress 9.
